CPI Acquires General Dynamics’ Satellite Antenna Business GD Satcom

On 5 June 2020, CPI announced it has completed the purchase of SATCOM Technologies, the antenna systems business of General Dynamics Mission Systems (GD Satcom), which has approximately 1,000 employees and facilities in the United States, Europe and India. It will be called CPI Satcom & Antenna Technologies Inc.

California-based CPI, short for Communications & Power Industries, announced in August 2019 its intent to purchase SATCOM Technologies, the antenna systems business of General Dynamics Mission Systems.

SATCOM Technologies designs, manufactures and installs satellite communications antenna systems used in commercial, defense and scientific applications. CPI said this acquisition would complement CPI’s existing portfolio of government, military and commercial products.

The former GD SATCOM Technologies business, and the CPI Malibu and Orbital Systems business entities have been integrated to create CPI Satcom & Antenna Technologies Division (CPI SAT), the world’s leading end-to-end provider of ground-based satellite communications products; auto-tracking data link antennas for land, sea and air; high precision scientific and satellite terminals; and services.
